Imperial PhD graduates secure coveted postdoctoral positions
Two Imperial PhD graduates under the tutelage of Hub Co-Director Anthea Monod have secured key postdoctoral positions at leading research institutions in Europe.
Inés Garcia-Redondo (pictured left) successfully completed her PhD and begins postdoctoral life as Senior Researcher at the AIDOS (AI for Data-Oriented Science) Lab at the University of Fribourg, led by Professor Bastian Rieck, whose work is closely aligned with the mission of the hub. Inés’ research focuses on topological data analysis, particularly in its use within machine learning systems, to investigate the mathematical foundations of AI. She said:
“I intend to continue my research at the interface of topology and geometry, and deep learning systems, which I initiated with Anthea as a student aligned to the hub. I’m very grateful and excited for the new opportunities to come, and to stay connected to the hub as well!”
Meanwhile, Yueqi Cao (pictured right) has been awarded a Digital Futures Postdoc Fellowship at the Department of Mathematics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, supervised by Profs Johan Karlsson and Sandra Di Rocco. Yueqi’s research sits at the crossroads of mathematics, statistics, and machine learning. During his PhD, he developed new tools and methods to analyse metric graphs using ideas from tropical geometry and topological data analysis. Yueqi’s postdoctoral research will now see him extend his research in metric graphs, exploring new geometric and topological methods and applications in machine learning and data analysis. He said:
“I am excited to embark a new postdoctoral position at KTH, where I look forward to further developing my research and building new collaborations, and making new connections in Europe to advance the research areas of the hub, strengthening connections between pure mathematics, computation, and machine learning.”
Congratulations to Ines and Yueqi. We wish them the best of luck in their new roles!
